Road Warrior Animal recently spoke about former Smackdown Women’s champion Becky Lynch calling herself ‘The Man’ on his What A Rush podcast and the WWE legend makes it clear that he isn’t a fan of the gimmick.
The former WWE Tag Team champion suggested that Lynch should drop ‘The Man’ gimmick and just be a pure white meat babyface, which according to him, always works despite the fact that before Lynch turned at Summerslam, her status as a pure white meat babyface was actually holding her back (credit to WrestleZone for the transcription):
I would let her back off of ‘The Man’ thing and let her just be a pure white meat babyface that doesn’t quit. Those are the kind of babyfaces that work. When you come out there with the attitude and strutting your stuff like she’s some kind of tough guy, come on! Jesus, Lord, anybody that’s ever been in a fight can see right through it and I’m just being realistic because that’s what works in this business. You’ve got to think shoot and work the shoot and right now they’re not taking advantage of their stars who are stars.
Road Warrior Animal also revealed some interesting thoughts on Asuka, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair main eventing TLC:
There is a problem in the wrestling business. Yes, the women’s movement is growing, but when the women are the main event and they have the best matches on your card, there’s an issue.
